February 28, 2006 Each month, the home and entertainment team reviews dozens of products, but only a few really stand out. While they may not earn Editors' Choice awards or even have superhigh ratings, there is something special about them, whether it be an outstanding design, kick-ass performance, an impressive feature set, big bang for the buck--or they're just plain cutting edge. At the beginning of each month, we'll spotlight six new products, so bookmark this page to keep tabs on all the latest and greatest home-entertainment gear. Without further ado, here are February's honorees. More resources

| Review summary | The Olympus Evolt E-330 is a very good midrange dSLR with unique live scene viewing on its large LCD. | An excellent midrange digital SLR, the D200 has given way to its even better successor, the D300. However, it remains a great choice if you can find it at a good price. | The 42-inch Panasonic TH-42PHD8UK is a great deal for the money, but only if you're comfortable adding inputs, you don't need a tuner, and you remember to buy a stand. | With its competitive image quality and price, the JVC HD-61FH96 is a strong contender against the other 1080p big screens on the market. | Logitech's hassle-free Wireless Music System bridges the gap between any MP3 player and your home stereo. | Aperion's Intimus 633 Concert system is a slam-dunk winner, delivering equally amazing sound quality from DVDs and CDs. |
